Chapter 85 I Guess Were Getting Along Better, Right? (2/2)
I didn’t really understand what she meant when she said she wanted to borrow my shoulder, but when I nodded as I didn’t have any particular reason to refuse, Sieg-san leaned towards me with her head on my shoulder.
Sieg-san’s height is about the same as mine, and although it can be said that she had just the right height to lean on me…… I never thought that it would turn into a situation like this.
Her long ears, the peculiar characteristic of the elves, swayed slightly, and I can feel Sieg-san’s body heat from her head placed on my shoulder.
Sieg-san stayed like that for a while, with her eyes closed and leaning her weight on me.
I’m naturally not calm at all as a beauty like Sieg-san is doing that to me, and my heart has been pulsing like an annoying alarm clock since a while ago.
“Kaito-san, will you always…… hear my voice?”
[Unnn?]

As I froze sitting there in place, a note was held out to me out of the corner of my eye, as if it had been written there at some point.
“As you can see, I can’t speak, and perhaps, my tall stature can be intimidating, but I don’t get talked too much.”
[C- Certainly, I also thought that Sieg-san was the cool type of person too.]
Sieg-san is about 170cm tall for a woman with a very well-defined face and a calm atmosphere, so when I first met her, I had assumed that she was a cool, stoic person.
“However, you talked about a lot of things with me. Even when I can’t answer you, you didn’t feel adverse towards me…… and I’m really happy with that.”
[It’s just that I enjoyed talking to Sieg-san. I did think you were a cool person at first…… but in fact, when I spoke to Sieg-san, I found you to be very homely, kind, and easy to talk to.]
“…… Thank you very much.”
After hearing my words, Sieg-san smiled a little shyly, and after closing her eyes again, she leaned her head on my shoulder again.
The silence that came again wasn’t uncomfortable, but it somehow feels warm and calming.
Basking in silence for a while…… As I yielded my body to the occasional night breeze and enjoyed the gentle flow of time, Sieg-san slowly lifted her head from my shoulder and quietly stood up.

“It’s not a good idea to stay up too late, it would hinder us in the event tomorrow. We should get back soon.”
[Yes.]
Following Sieg-san’s words, I get up from the bench.
And just as we were walking back the path we used, Sieg-san grasps my hand as if it was normal.
[Wha!?]
[…………….]
[Sieg-san?]
[…………….]
I’m surprised by the suddenness of the situation, but Sieg-san doesn’t reply and just continues walking forward.
Sieg-san’s cheeks seemed to be slightly reddish, though it might have been the light, as she placed her thin, soft hands over mine and walked a little in front of me, pulling me along.

Separating from Sieg-san at the entrance of the inn, I returned to my room.
I somehow felt like what happened just now was just a dream, just as I was about to lie down in my bed, that when I noticed something.
Before I knew it, there was a little note inserted in the pocket of my clothes, which was undoubtedly written by Sieg-san, and picking it up, I leaned close to the room’s illumination magic tool and read the note.
“Kaito-kun is always straightforward and kind, and that is why I like you. Please remain the kind person as you are now, even in the future. I’m troubled since I have lots of rivals, but I will do my best…… So if you can, please also turn my way once in a while.”
[……………..]
Looking at this note, written in a way that seems to express something, I tilted my head in my room.
I guess this means that she likes me, but what does she mean by rivals? If I remember correctly, Sieg-san and the others won’t be joining the harvest festival tomorrow, so I don’t think she would be competing with other participants……
Hmmm. I don’t really know what she meant, but I don’t particularly feel uncomfortable.
Just thinking about it didn’t seem to give me an answer, so I put the note away in the magic box and after turning off the light, I laid down on the bed.
I couldn’t fall asleep earlier, but thanks to Sieg-san, I feel like I’m going to get some good night sleep.

Dear Mom, Dad—— Sieg-san and I strolled down the street at night and talked about stuff. I don’t really get her intentions from some of her actions, but—– I guess we’re getting along better, right?
======================================================================
No, no, she even went that far, so go notice it already……
T/N: No daily chap tomorrow anyway, so I might as well drop this chapter.
